Solar Project Development Roadmap
Coordinate solar development workstreams, dependencies, decision gates and evidence toward a defined readiness target.
Why this workflow matters
A development roadmap connects land, grid, permitting, engineering, procurement and commercial work rather than showing isolated task lists. The critical path usually moves as new evidence arrives.
Questions to answer
- What does the project mean by ready-to-build?
- Which workstreams and approvals are interdependent?
- What evidence closes each decision gate?
- Which long-lead activities control the programme?
Recommended workflow
- 1Define the target maturity state and decision gates.
- 2Map workstreams, owners, deliverables and dependencies.
- 3Identify critical-path and seasonal activities.
- 4Review progress against evidence, not percentage-complete claims.
Evidence to collect
- ✓ Development scope and governance
- ✓ Permit and grid milestones
- ✓ Land and survey programme
- ✓ Design, procurement and finance requirements
